Food Photography Props at Lucullian Delights

by Kristen on June 14, 2010

I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to do a guest post over at Lucullian Delights talking all about food photography and food props. Ilva has a great series happening right now and she has asked 4 food bloggers to open up their cabinets and drawers and share with her readers all about the various food props we use in our food photography photos.

I have long admired Ilva’s food photography (and her regular photography as well). She is extremely talented and her photos are absolutely breathtaking. I hope you will take the short jaunt over to her beautiful blog and take a look for yourself!

That is a very interesting photo. Lot of color and the background is amazingly conducive to the subject. Was this photo with a tilt shift lens? or with a macro?

Awesome! Always looking for good tips. I feel like I’m in a bit of a food photo rut now… maybe it’s time for a new lens ;)

I’m embarrassed to admit that I just never have time to take a nice picture. Dinner’s on and folks are hungry and the last thing anyone wants is for me to pose the plate, or even get out the nice camera. As a result, I’m strictly an iPhone camera type these days. And as such, I’m very much in awe of those who do it right. Eating is not just about putting food down the gullet, it’s about the entire experience, and our peepers are just as important as any other sensory organ in that respect. Cheers!

Nice shot! I have yet to acquire the skill of shooting one like that.

Ooo off to check you out over there! Although I have a feeling it’s just going to make me wish more for a real serious camera :P

The pic has caught my attention on TasteSpotting. Very bright. Love the tone! Bright orange and woody brown
